ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable injectable implant used for the correction of facial wrinkles. It contains ArteFill Precision-Filtered Microspheres suspended in a carrier gel of collagen and lidocaine. Following injection, the microspheres remain intact at the injection site and provide permanent structure to support the wrinkles and help prevent further wrinkling.

If you have used injectable fillers in the past and desire a more permanent option you may want to consider ArteFill. Results can last over five years in most patients. Your first step is to schedule a consultation with a Hughes Cosmetic Surgery physician where you will review your treatment options and undergo a skin test on your forearm. You can return 28 days after your skin test for your ArteFill treatment.

FAQ’s

Do you offer Artefill Injections?
Yes, the physicians administering Artefill at Hughes Cosmetic Surgery have completed the Artes Medical Physician Training Program and is fully trained in the proper injection technique required for ArteFill Permanent Injectable Impant.

What is ArteFill?
ArteFill is the first and only FDA-approved non-resorbable aesthetic injectable implant for the correction of facial wrinkles known as nasolabial folds, or smile lines. Artefill consists of a combination of ArteFill Precision-Filtered Microspheres, ArteFill Bovine Collagen and lidocaine for comfort.

What are microspheres?
The tiny microspheres in ArteFill are made of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), one of the widely used synthetic implant materials in medicine. The microspheres in Artefill remain intact at the injection site and provide permanent structural support to correct the wrinkle and keep it from returning.

How does ArteFill work?
The purified bovine collagen gel acts as a carrier for the microspheres in Artefill. Gradually, your body absorbs the injected bovine collagen while the PMMS microspheres remain and provide a permanent support structure below the wrinkle to sustain wrinkle correction.

How long does an ArteFill treatment take?
A typical Artefill treatment only takes about 15-30 minutes. It’s easy to fit it into your lunch hour and you can return to your normal activities immediately.

Will I need more than one treatment?
The doctor will work with you to develop a treatment program to meet your individual needs. Most people get the results they want with one or two treatments, depending on the depth of their wrinkles and folds.

Are the injections painful?
ArteFill is formulated with an anesthetic (lidocaine). The injection technique used to administer ArteFill does not require numerous needle sticks. For additional comfort the doctor will numb the treatment area with a topical or local anesthetic agent.

Are there any side effects?
As with all dermal fillers, side effects may occur. During your initial consultation, the doctor will review your individualized treatment plan and other important considerations.
